Alumni, Welcome back!

The UTSA Band Alumni is an organization made up of past members of the University of Texas at San Antonio Band programs. Membership is open to all former members of the UTSA Bands and their families. It is our near goal that over the course of the year UTSA Alumni Band members get together several times to participate in various events. Some of these events will include the annual UTSA Alumni Band Day during a UTSA Football game, performances during UTSA Basketball games, as well as an Alumni concert band during TMEA week!

We kicked off our first annual SOSA Alumni Band with an exciting 45 members and have been growing ever since! There is no doubt there is a continually growing sense of pride and tradition in the UTSA community. We proudly welcome back ALL UTSA Music Alumni to join us for this year’s Alumni Band. When you become a member of the UTSA Bands Alumni Association, you contribute to growing our music family as well as supporting our music programs here at UTSA! It is through your generous support that we are able to advance learning and opportunities for many individuals here at UTSA.

Please fill out the Ryzer form to register for Alumni Band. Registration is for SOSA Alumni personnel only. If you have friends or family members that would like to attend the football game they will need to purchase a ticket for entry into the game.
